RF3223
HIGH LINEARITY/DRIVER AMPLIFIER
The RF3223 is a high-efficiency GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT)
amplifier packaged in a low-cost surface-mount package. This amplifier is ideal for
use in applications requiring high-linearity and low noise figure over the 500MHz to
3GHz frequency range. The RF3223 operates from a single 5V power supply, and is
assembled in an economical 3mmx3mm QFN package.
